Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash, peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 yam, unpeeled and chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 2 potatoes, unpeeled and chopped into 1/2 inch cubes – I used white, but red would work as well
  • 2 carrots, unpeeled and cut into discs
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 lb stewing beef – I used grass-fed and finished, free range beef
Cranberry barbecue sauce
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cranberry juice
  • 1 beef bouillon cube
  • 6 oz. can of tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300F
  2. Combine all barbecue sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium low heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, combine all vegetables and meat in a large bowl. Stir to combine, then drop into a 2.3L [or larger] casserole dish.
  4. Pour barbecue sauce over the prepared vegetables.
  5. Cook with lid on for 2.5-3hrs or until potatoes can be cut through, but still hold form. [Mine took 2hrs and 45minutes]
  6. For slow-cooker instructions: place everything in a slow-cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-7.
